Summer Reading

Let's play Summer Reading Bingo!

Summer is the perfect time to grow your imagination, discover new adventures, and find joy in reading. Books can take you anywhere—from faraway places to exciting new worlds right from your own home.

Students are encouraged to read for at least 20 minutes each day throughout the summer. For our younger readers, we encourage families to read aloud together and continue building a love of books.

Students entering K-Prep - Grade 5 are asked to complete at least one single BINGO  on the Summer Reading Bingo card.  Bingos may consist of 5 consecutive vertical, horizontal, or diagonal squares. Since we always want to challenge our students, we would like to challenge all students to try for a BLACKOUT BINGO (all squares completed).  Students who complete a full blackout of the Bingo card will receive a special prize when school begins!

Please staple any book covers or pictures to the completed Bingo sheet.  Students will be asked to turn in their Bingo sheets the first week of school.

Students that complete a full BLACKOUT BINGO and the required activities will receive a special recognition the second week of school.
